To find the missing side of the triangle, we use pythagorean theorem.
c^2=a^2+b^2
Put values
16^2 = 5^2 +b^2
256=25+b^2
Subtract 25 from both sides.
231=b^2
Take square root.
15.2=b
or
b=15.2 Rounded to nearest tenth.

Solve for x and y.<br><br> 4x-3y=16<br> -2x+4y=-2<br><br> DUE 2/7/17!
Trava [24]
\left \{ {{4x-3y=16\:(I)} \atop {-2x+4y=-2\:(II)}} \right.

<span>Multiply the 2nd equation by (-4). This will eliminate the x's when you add the two new equations together.
</span>\left \{ {{4x-3y=16\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:} \atop {-2x+4y=-2\:*(-4)}} \right.
\left \{ {{\diagup\!\!\!\!4x-3y=16} \atop {-\diagup\!\!\!\!4x+8y=-4}} \right.
--------------------
5y = 12
\boxed{\boxed{y =  \frac{12}{5}}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Let's replace the value found in the first equation:
4x-3y=16\:(I)
4x-3*( \frac{12}{5}) =16
4x -  \frac{36}{5} = 16
least common multiple (5)
\frac{20x}{\diagup\!\!\!\!5} - \frac{36}{\diagup\!\!\!\!5} = \frac{80}{\diagup\!\!\!\!5}
20x - 36 = 80
20x = 80 + 36
20x = 116
x = \frac{116}{20} \frac{\div4}{\div4} \to\: \boxed{\boxed{x = \frac{29}{5} }}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark
